1

<p>I. hate. myself.</p>

<p>I never learn.</p>

<p><em>punch myself in stomach</em></p>

<p>This is a raaaaaaaaaaaaaant.</p>

2

<p>Aww, sorry:( I know what you mean. I have a problem with procrastination as well. (sigh) I need motivation haha:)</p>

3

<p>I HAVE MOTIVATION.</p>

<p>Yet nothing gets done.</p>

4

<p>…</p>

<p><em>slap</em></p>

5

<p>Haha, I suppose I do too. I wonder what causes procrastination. Maybe we are lazy? Haha, I’m not sure:/</p>

6

<p>Obviously we are lazy</p>

<p>Now if someone was to threaten me with my life, I WOULDN’T PROCRASTINATE</p>

7

<p>Gah, but where are we going to get someone like that? :/</p>

8

<p>I am procrastinating as we speak. My chances of getting into my reaches is slowly fading away with every dormant minute. Yet I still procrastinate.</p>

9

<p>Does anyone have any solutions to solve our common problem?:/</p>

10

<p>same here. I hate myself for it. I’ve been doing nothing and wasting time online for hours everyday for the past few weeks now when I have a lot to do. I just don’t want to do it but I need to do it and I feel so bad for not doing it but I still don’t do it.</p>

11

<p>Just keep telling yourself you enjoy studying. And maybe, after awhile, you’ll succeed in brainwashing yourself.</p>

<p>It kind of worked for me lol.</p>

12

<p>I know how you feel. I ALWAYS do this when it comes to papers. I have to write a 1-page paper, which is like the easiest thing to do, but the book is sooooo boring so I sit around on the computer. The epitome of ■■■■■■■■.</p>

<p>Step 1:
Make a goal</p>

<p>Step 2:
Set a deadline (e.g. 2 weeks from now)</p>

<p>Step 3:
Make a bet (e.g. $10 for each week of failure)</p>

<p>Step 4:
Work your behind off to fulfill your goal in order not to pay the fine with money you don’t have.</p>

<p>Things I have accomplished with <a href=“http://www.stickk.com:%5B/url%5D”>www.stickk.com:</a>

  • Lose weight (lots of them)
  • Learn 500 GRE vocab
  • Read three major books
  • Lose weight.</p>

<p>If you discovered that no normal motivations could get you working, putting up your own can cash (and losing it) can strike the fear of laziness into your heart.</p>

<p>Embrace procrastination…for now.</p>

<p>Eventually we’ll all grow up and stop. I’m pretty sure it has a lot to do with us being silly teenagers.</p>

15

<p>Any more advice?</p>

16

<p>Haha, That would never work for me. I would just not make my goal and feel like even more of a failure :frowning: oh well, at least I get to relax while I procrastinate</p>

17

<p>Just do the damn work. It’s called life.</p>

18

<p>^lol .</p>

19

<p>Well, if you procastinate long enough, sometimes the problem goes away.</p>

20

<p>Yes, it usually ends with a big F on your paper…
I think I’ll stick to trying to overcome it lol</p>
